Abortion has nothing to do with women's rights. Murder is not a right.

"The market has done this."
Actually, it didn't. Market health care costs rose largely due to the mixture of employment and health care, and the legislation that helped bring this about.
"Lately, i.e. LATELY costs on the medicine market has TRIPLED."
And there are several ways to lower the cost of medicines. One would be to shrink the FDA and its regulatory power (this drives up the cost of medicine quite a bit), and in general slacken the regulations and taxes. The costs of both get passed on to the consumer, and contribute to having a health care problem.
"How much better and cheaper is Canada's healt care than the American's? Oh yeah, the difference is unquantifiable."
Again, thanks to people screwing around with the economy in the first place. Once the economy gets screwed up enough by excessive regulatory and legislative practices, people advocate sweeping socialization as the obvious solution. No thanks.
"So if an entire culture disrespects you because of your phenotype your advice is to... Join the army? Live 85 % of a life because you're not suppposed to complain or like government? You have high hopes of humanity, my friend."
Are you trying to say that people have a right to the money and offers of other people? No, they don't. That is quite a subversion of the concept of property.
"Basic atanomy? Dude, bodily equality is a must, since bodies must be considered equal if liberty is to be possible."
Legislating equality is not liberty.
"Yup, and I would gladly send police officers to destroy a man's liberty if he isn't capable of taking care of his sperm. That's equality."
You already destroyed it when you made the initial legislation.
"Well, his sperm growing in her body, his baby."
If it is his baby, and he must help care for it, then she is not allowed to abort it without his consent.
"Gender roles are one of the biggest handicaps to a country. I approve of child support laws and I think some libertarians would agree with me."
Probly. But you are logically inconsistent. *If* the child is partly the man's responsibility, and it is partly his, then logically abortion is not allowed without the consent of *both* parties involved - *including* the man's.
"No, by edge I was meaning that whenever life begins the decision to support the carrier will be the correct one."
Elaborate. 'Support the carrier'?
"Men are responsible for their fluids. Sperm + egg = fetus. A man's sperm should be precious to him and he should carry a condom at all times. "
But women are responsible for -accepting- his fluids. It is then her fluids once she possesses it, not him. Her property then, not his, which would be quite a crucial difference.
